Families Exploring and Enjoying the Outdoors
I was recently blown away by the company luvmother. Suprisingly, it was not jus because of their super soft merino wool fabrics and stylish clothing that is also great for adventuring. It was because of all the fine details that they have thought about in terms of creating a sustainable brand. They use ethically sourced…
I remember it clearly like it was yesterday. Driving from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan for our annual 2 week family camping trip to the Canadian Rocky Mountains. It was not every day you saw the world go from completely flat to monstrous towering rock. The trip that year would be extra special for me, as we would…

Remember way back when I wrote that I was trying a “No Poo” rinse for our Green UP Challenge during the month of March? Well, here I am finally finding the time to write about the experience. It seems these days that I have a lot of stuff to write about but very little time…
Adventure Mamas Initiative, a group founded by two moms, Justine Nobbe and Stephanie Feller. It initially started off as a simple, single meetup group and a way for adventure moms to meet other like-minded women. But within months of being created, moms from around the world started to latch onto the group and concept behind…
Camping with a baby is a lot of fun. We camped with our first daughter when she was 6 weeks old and with our second daughter when she was only 3 weeks old. I have to say the first time we went camping with a baby we were excited but also nervous. The experience helped…
